Summary : [Stiles Stilinski Plays ‘Who’d You Rather?’] TheEllenShow ✓ 1.9M views • 1 day agoEllen helped the very single Stiles Stilinski find a potential love match in a round of “Who’d You Rather?”

My notes : Cute fic to leave a smile on your face. Pining and insecure Derek with a good dose of pack feels. Better to read it directly on ao3 instead of downloading the epub as the boys use social media, the embedded pictures definitely serve the story.

If being sexy was a crime, you’d be guilty as hell.  / Sterek  / E / 14k

author :  DropsOfAddiction

Summary :  Derek tries and fails to shut his gaping mouth as Stiles arrives at his desk, heartbeat rabbiting a little faster than usual.

Stiles grabs a file out of his desk, muttering something about forgetting to mail it yesterday and needing to get it down to filing by Monday. Derek’s barely paying attention, unable to concentrate with the scent of him right under his nose.

He leans over Derek to grab an empty envelope from their shared stationary tray and Derek knows he’s absolutely fucked when he sees how his trousers are moulded to his perfect ass.

“So.... how do I look?” Stiles asks casually as he stands back up, as if his very presence hasn’t just given Derek a very sudden and uncomfortable boner.

He looks like he should be on the cover of GQ.

What Derek wants to say, what he really means to say, is that he looks fine. Quite nice, even.

What comes out of his mouth is so far from that, it’s almost ridiculous.

“You can’t go out looking like that!” Derek manages, sounding choked.

Stiles pales.

My notes : Cop AU. Pregnant Erica! Derek is pining for the Captain’s son. The whole werewolf thing was great. Also Smut.

Mug Life  / Sterek  / G / 7k 

author : whateverrrrwhatever

Summary : Stiles hates the morning shift with the passion of a thousand fiery suns. The hot guy in the leather jacket with the boring coffee order might make him change his mind.

My notes : I smiled the whole way through. Oh Stiles with his stupid crush and his disgusting misadventures at the coffee shop.

My notes : You know when you want your dose of fics but can’t actually stop life for a few hours to read? This was my perfect companion while I did laundry and household chores. (mom life). How to balance the boring life, with murder yes!!!

Everything mixed up (and baked in a beautiful pie)  / Sterek  / T / 42k

author : @dearericbittle

Summary : Stiles’ friends are more of a pain in the ass than usual around the holiday season. Just because he spends all of his time at his bakery, doesn’t mean he’s unhappy. So hiring a fake boyfriend seems like the perfect, simple solution. Instead Stiles stumbles onto a stupid quest to make Derek Hale happy. But surely that will all work out in time.

My notes : Dearericbittle’s Stiles narrator strikes again. Gut-wrenching Derek backstory. Lemon squares and Red Velvet cheesecake. Banter. Pack feels with these wonderful side characters.

Audrey’s birthday celebration countdown. 11/10

Whoops so the countdown is over, it’s officially my birthday. You thought you’d seen the last of me but nope here I am again. I wanted to celebrate our fandom one last time, but from the other side of the spectrum this time. I’d like to thank everyone who read, left kudos/comments on one of my fics. That was a big big source of joy this year. Thank you all 😘

Not A Normal Flavor / Sterek  / M / 23k

author : @fairydustedtheory

Summary : Derek has a hard time bonding with his daughter since he finally got her back. She only seems to find comfort in the magic of the ice cream parlor that Stiles owns.

(featuring : alive family hale. werewolves are known, magic Stiles. magic ice cream. fluff and finding one's own truth.

My notes : This beach fic lived in my head for a month before I finally came around to writing it. I wrote sillier/shorter things in that time because there was the event deadline and I had to get things out of the way. But yes, beach fic, beach fic I love. I loved imagining it, I loved writing it, I loved waking up and already being at my computer at 8am writing my favorite boys kissing.

Couldn't Have One Without the Other [podfic]  / Lydica + Sterek / E / 67k ~7 hour listen

reader : SaySoul  ; author :  clio_jlh

Summary : The little town of Beacon that weathered the Long Winter is growing with the arrival of new teacher Miss Laura Hale, who's come to prepare ambitious students Stiles and Lydia for their upcoming college exams. Miss Hale's brother and sister, Derek and Erica, have also come to town to start a horse ranch. But is it their beautiful horses, or the Hale siblings themselves, who have turned Stiles and Lydia's heads?

>> not a fan of podfics? Here is the direct link to text <<

My notes : I loved the softness and the accent of the reader. The fic itself has alternate point of views between the different main characters, as much Lydia/Erica as Stiles/Derek. The E rating is both for M/M and F/F scenes. There’s a slight polyamory aspect too, platonic at first and then more. 

⚠ warning for historical language accuracy. Gays are referred as inverts, Boyd is described as the n word at several points in the fic so please proceed with caution if that is a trigger for you.

Send in that sunshine (cause baby I’m coming by) / Sterek  / T / 8k

author :  @dearericbittle

Summary : The annual Hale Bonfire and BBQ was for pack and significant others only. Stiles thought he’d pretty damn significant in keeping Scott alive. But apparently that didn’t count. Not that Stiles was going to let some asshole wolf keep him from hanging out with his best friend. At some point his persistence had to pay off, right?

My notes : Gotta love all the shenanigans. Perfect if in need of fun fluff!
